Car seats in back?? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has anyone tried to get a car seat in the back yet? Thanks.

Great question!!! I will have to put 2.

I was wondering the same thing. My 2 year old is in a huge Brittax Marathon, and I know it isn't going to fit. I was think about getting a small booster seat.....hopefully the same color as the grey/black interior....

Some have already posted that some seats will fit just fine while others won't.
It also has differences for the forward-facing seats vs. the rear-facing ones.
Easiest way to find out is to take your car seat to the dealer and see if it
fits in the demo/showroom model.

Yeah, I am curious about this as well. My daughter is almost 3 so I want to make sure a good seat would fit in the back...

I have a carseat in mine. Fits fine. Kinda tight getting the kid in there tho. Gotta fight the front seat, the seatbelt and of course the kid!!!

Soon it will turn into a booster seat instead of the big thing we have now. That will be a relief

CamaroFan1 · 05-20-2009, 05:14 PM

Lol... I should ask for another test drive in the dealers demo V6, and take him to the Walmart parking lot, pull the keys, and make him wait while I try out car seats..... all while taking pictures....

Yep. Took the kids (ages 5 & 7) down to the local Chevy dealer this weekend to have them sit in the backseat of the 1LT demo car they have. They fit just fine with their booster seats (Graco Turbobooster Backless Booster Seats). If anything, they had a lot more room in that backseat than I ever imagined they would with my wife (5'3") and I (5'8") sitting in the front seats. Both kids had no problem getting in and out with nothing more than tilting the seat backs forward.

Dude do yourself a favor and don't buy a Camaro to haul around kids. It's a pain in the ass. That's why I had to sell my Z28 back in 1999 now my kids are much older that is why I'm getting a Camaro again. Just some advice Camaros aren't good for toddlers.

LS1_Alex · 05-20-2009, 06:20 PM

I dunno I've had no issues with toddlers. Yeah it takes about 3 minutes of your life per kid to get them seated but it's really not that big of a deal. I guess if you have a disability or are very overweight I could see that being a problem.

I am so glad I have a tween & a teenager lol.

They aren't going to fit in the back either.
